Grading

 

All third read and passed legislation will be reviewed using the L&S criteria and the corresponding constitution and the legislators will be scored accordingly.

If the piece of legislation remains unchanged when it is passed by the secondary chamber each representative, senator, and governor will be awarded points based on their vote and the committee determination. 

There are other variables which relate to how many points can be awarded on any one piece of legislation such as conference committee substitutes, secondary chamber substitutes that are approved by the initial chamber and over riding a veto of the governor.

The most times any one piece of legislation can be voted on is three and that is the most amount of points that can be awarded as well.
